Paid Parental Leave and Estimates

[Sorka]

Another Paid Parental Leave query for those in the know...

I have done the online estimator and it seems we are better off by about $1300 to recieve Paid Parental Leave.

My question is this - I believe I am still eligible for FTB A and CCB while recieving PPL. To get an estimate of the amount of FTB A and CCB we will recieve once bubs is born, do I need to add the $10 260 to my 12/13 income ($24720) and then use the online estimator with the total income figure for me as $34980?

But when I use the estimator for the paid parental leave - I only use the income of $24720 not $34980, right? It will add the amount for Paid parental leave for me?

I'd hate to think I had done it wrong and shortchanged myself of some more money to feed all these hungry little people!

thanks for reading - I hope that makes sense to somebody who knows what I'm talking about!
